Part 3 of my podcast series on productivity and organization for indie authors is live!
In Parts 1 and 2, we covered how to build better writing habits, create systems that support your brain, and get your space and time under control. But what happens when life interrupts all your well-laid plans?
That’s what this final episode is all about: real-life sustainability.
Recovering perfectionist here. I get it.
We’re not aiming for perfect systems here—we’re aiming for systems that survive grandbabies, unexpected freelance work, and road trips. In this episode, I walk you through the weekly and monthly habits I use to stay on track without burning out, even when things get chaotic.
You’ll hear:
How to do a weekly review (in under 30 minutes)
A monthly refresh routine (with room to celebrate wins!)
My go-to tools for managing documents, backups, projects, and even blurbs
Why AI is a tool—not a shortcut—for busy authors
If you’ve ever felt like you start strong but fizzle out, this one’s for you.
Plus, as a bonus for paid subscribers, I’ve included a printable Weekly Review worksheet that can help you build your own weekly review habit!
Note: Last week, I sent out the wrong episode to some followers. Sorry about that! That has been corrected, so if you heard part three already, you might want to go back to part 2 and listen to the correct audio.
What’s in the Bonus
I created a one-page Weekly Review Template just for indie authors like you—designed to help you reflect, prioritize, and reset your workspace so you can move forward with clarity and purpose.
Whether you’re juggling a draft, edits, or launch prep, this tool will help you:
✔️ Track what’s in progress
✔️ Set realistic goals for the week ahead
✔️ Clean up digital and physical clutter
✔️ Celebrate your small wins
✔️ Hints on what to review
This printable bonus is available exclusively for paid subscribers. (Keep scrolling for the link if that’s you.)
